Trader Joe’s has a turkey products that ask a question: Do you want white meat or dark meat? Because if you like white meat turkey, this is by no means the one to reach for. In fact, you have two solid options for white meat turkey: Trader Joe’s Turkey and Stuffing en Croute or Trader…
Trader Joe’s Mint Flavored Fudge Brownie Bar
If I were to admit to the food pairings that I like most, it would probably be chocolate and peppermint. If I stop at a Starbucks, there is a peppermint mocha frappuccino in my future. If I go to the movies, I reach for Junior Mints. There is something about the pairing of those flavors…
Trader Joe’s Broccoli and Cauliflower Gratin
With the holidays nearly upon us, there are so many new things hitting shelves. Some are clearly meant for the Winter holidays while others are just for the Thanksgiving holiday. I’m not sure which category this is meant for, but this is another option as a side dish if you normally go through the refrigerated…
Trader Joe’s Brined Bone In Half Turkey Breast
I’m not sure how it is almost Thanksgiving already, but it seems like the end of the year is just zooming by. On the stroke of midnight on Halloween it seemed that Trader Joe’s made the transition from pumpkin to turkey to now aisles of just holiday items. And at my store, you aren’t quite…
Trader Joe’s November 2018 Fearless Flyer Matchups
Welcome to another edition of the Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer Matchups. This is the Thanksgiving Flyer and one of two Flyers that will be appearing this month. This one is a bit shorter than most. You might have also noticed that your local store has already started getting items in for the holiday season. Yes,…
Trader Joe’s Donut Bites
Donuts. There is a food item that has such powerful food memories attached to them. Done right they can instantly make you smile. In fact, donuts instantly make me think of certain pop culture icons: Homer Simpson and Fred the Baker from the Dunkin Donuts commercials instantly come to mind. It’s those cultural icons to…
Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Pancakes
Every now and again, I get a chance to write a review that I’m truly excited to share. Not only is this product new, it is sadly labeled as seasonal. This is the time of year where Trader Joe’s tends to bring out its best products along with a new items I deem as Trader…
Trader Joe’s Turkey Cranberry Meatballs
Like Cinderella, at the stroke of midnight, all things pumpkin seems to have disappeared. The shelf space is quickly being shifted into Thanksgiving and holiday items. In fact, I got to pick up some old favorites like Brandy Beans and Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa Stirring Spoons as stocking stuffers. With the next Fearless Flyer landing Monday,…
Trader Joe’s Best Fall Items
On my most recent trip to Trader Joe’s I noticed that the pumpkin display that was so prominently filled a week or two ago, has become empty and barren (or was it because I was there on a weekend?). Here is a list of the items you should pick up before they vanish off of…
Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Pie Crust
Easy as pie. Or at least that is how the saying goes. But what about the gluten-free crowd? Making pie without flour can be a bit of a challenge. However, just in time for the holiday season is Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Pie Crust in the freezer section. It’s already shaped and even has its own…
Trader Joe’s Soft Honey Nougat with Almonds
While Trader Joe’s seems to make an effort to embrace a lot of dietary needs, there seems to be one group who has been sorely left out of so many of the new products I’ve tried this year: the low carb crowd. It seems like the vast majority of the items hitting shelves is sugar…
Trader Joe’s Fall Zucchette Pasta
It’s time to revisit a Fall Seasonal item that likes to appear on store shelves in the Fall. And yes, this is one of several seasonal pastas that like to show up on store shelves. In a typical year you’ll see the appearance of the colorful Trofie Colore and the Winter Snowflake Pasta. But at…
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Joe Joe’s
So far, I haven’t tried too many pumpkin items this year. I like pumpkin, but it has to be done right. I like pumpkin in a more subtle about. Now, this cookie is basically Trader Joe’s answer to Oreos, however there are some key differences between this and an Oreo.
Trader Joe’s Sweet Italian Sausage and Four Cheese Ravioli
I’m at Trader Joe’s about twice a week. But I’ve noticed a bit of a shift in the pasta section recently. Yes, there are some new pastas like this and the Brussels Sprout ravioli, but also it seems that some packaging is also being updated as well. Which means, I may have to revisit some…
Trader Joe’s Pepita Salsa
Every now and again, I pick up a product that I’m not totally into trying. But for the sake of public information, I put it out there. And every now and again, I get something I love and something I absolutely hate. Now, even though I have over 900 Trader Joe’s reviews, I can’t say…
